France travel guide

Tourists flock to France every year, and every traveler has the country on their bucket list. France oozes culture. It is famous for its food, art, wine, and architecture. You could spend a month in the beautiful country and still not experience everything.

Paris is the main attraction. Everyone knows about the Eiffel Tower, the Arc du Triomphe, and the Louvre. But take a trip to the countryside. Taste the wine in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Provence. Visit the gorgeous resorts towns of Marseille, Nice, and Cannes on the southern coast of France. There’s a reason so many Englishmen vacation there.

Currency: The currency in France is the Euro (EUR). 1 USD is equal to about 0.95 EUR.

Plugs: The French use type C and E plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. I highly recommend buying a universal adapter and a converter for hairdryers and other hot products.

Safety: France is a safe country. But be aware of your surroundings. Pickpockets are common in tourist areas of Paris.

The best time to visit

The best time to visit France is during its shoulder seasons: April to June and September to November. Flights and hotels are cheaper, and there are fewer tourists. Seriously, there are tons of tourists in the summer. Going off season could make your trip a lot more enjoyable.

But summer is the perfect time to visit the French Riviera in the south. Just make sure to book your trip far in advance. Flights and hotels will go quick, so it’s never too soon to plan your vacation.

I arrived in Yokohama just in time for cherry blossom season. It’s been raining all weekend, but I still managed to get some cool photos. There’s so much color wherever you look. Cherry blossom season in Japan, also known as "Sakura" season, is a magical time of the year when the country is blanketed in a sea of pink and white flowers. People gather under the blooming trees to enjoy picnics, parties, and contemplation. It's a celebration of spring, renewal, and the beauty of nature that is cherished by locals and visitors alike. There’s nothing like a leisurely ride on the water, and with such stunning island views, how can you go wrong? With a rich history and diverse culture, Vietnam is a place like no other. Through numerous invasions and colonization, Vietnam has emerged with its own identity, and I think it’s pretty cool 😎 Legend has it the gods sent a family of dragons to defend Vietnam’s coast from invaders. They spat jewels and jade, which grew into the towering, green pillars you see today. The invaders crashed into these emerging islands, and Vietnam was saved. The bay was named Ha Long (“dragon descending”) after the famous legend.
